Testing gender and longitudinal measurement invariance of the SF-36 in American Indian older adults: The strong heart study.
Article in Psychological assessment, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Information about the equality of psychometric properties of the medical outcomes study (MOS) Short Form-36 (SF-36), a health status measure, across gender and across the lifespan for American Indian adults is lacking. We tested measurement invariance (configural, metric, scalar invariance) of the physical and mental components between gender and over time in a sample of 2,709 (1,054 men, 1,654 women) American Indian older adults at three time points, and across a 6-year time frame. Measurement invariance of a 2-factor higher-order model was demonstrated between gender at each time point. Tests of longitudinal invariance indicated longitudinal measurement invariance over time. Multiple-group latent means analysis indicated men had significantly higher physical and mental component latent means compared to women at each time point, and longitudinal latent means analysis found physical and mental component latent means decreased over time. The 2-factor higher-order model SF-36 is valid for American Indian older adults over a 6-year time frame. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
